Redefining Purity
To be the benchmark for integrated non-ferrous material recovery and advanced manufacturing, setting the standard for quality, safety, and circularity across the wider Middle East.
Transforming Value
To maximize the economic and environmental value of end-of-life materials through continuous technological innovation, transforming waste streams into certified, high-purity industrial commodities. |
Integrated Recycling and Advanced Manufacturing
Our commitment goes far beyond simply melting scrap. We operate an integrated value chain, from the meticulous collection and safe processing of hazardous materials (like lead-acid batteries) to the high-tech casting, drawing, and stranding of finished goods.

We develop & build production excellence
KANZA operates the region’s largest integrated complex for non-ferrous metal recovery and advanced manufacturing. Our state-of-the-art facility in Erbil combines pyrometallurgical refining, casting, and wire drawing under one roof, ensuring complete control over quality and environmental safety.
We maintain strict quality standards through closed-loop refining systems and continuous testing protocols. Our refined lead ingots achieve 99.99% to 99.999% purity, while our copper products exceed IACS conductivity standards, meeting the demands of the most critical industrial applications.
We transform waste into wealth while protecting the environment. Our integrated approach recovers 70-99% of incoming materials, safely processes hazardous waste like lead-acid batteries, and even recycles non-metallic components such as polypropylene from battery casings—achieving true circularity.
